CTD Shift System Axles)

Description and Operation

The CTD Shift System provides the option of operation with t he Controlled Traction Differential engaged or
disengaged with the use of an in-cab pneumatic valve.
Two shift units (one on each axle) engage or disengage the C ontrolled Traction Differentials. A quick release
valve in the system provides fast release of air pressure fr om the shift units.
There are two types of CTD Shift Systems for tandem axles: ( 1) a One-Selector Valve System controlling
operation of the Inter-Axle Differential and both Controlled Traction Differentials, or (2) a Two-Selector Valve
System which offers independent control of the Inter-Ax/e Di fferential and the Controlled Traction Differen-
tials. These systems are illustrated on the next page.
Instruction in this manual are the same for both systems unl ess specified otherwise.
